Have You Ever Seen

May the 4th be with you! Since it’s Star Wars Day and we’ve already covered the Original Trilogy (look for those eps way back years ago on this channel), this seemed like a good time to jam about a s…

Bonus episode! For the 2nd time during the pandemic, we offer up a pithy gab where we give you some ideas about flicks you should let enter your eyeholes during this isolating time. We even tell you …

For the Next 193 Project, we’ve got a smart satire about dumb people. The whole cast is awfully good (okay, Bev takes issue with one person’s performance), but this was Nicole Kidman’s breakout after…

We haven't covered the controversial Woody Allen since we reviewed Annie Hall 5 years ago, but The Purple Rose Of Cairo has just gotta be seen and discussed. It’s one of the man’s best efforts. We sp…

If you’re looking for a funny satire about identity and 1980s consumerism, then Mary Harron’s adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ book might be exactly what you’re craving. Or maybe you just want to ogl…

For the 190th time, we give you a Next 100 Project podcast…and this lip-wag is about one graphically vicious movie. This modern noir that uses plenty of florid dialogue from ’40s crime thrillers is n…

It doesn’t get much more timely (or germ-bedazzled) than the subject of the Next 189 Project. Steven Soderbergh’s movie has actually gotten better now that it has some age on it. It’s fast-paced and …

Bonus episode! If you need some terrific movie recommendations to fill your free time in the next few weeks (or months, good God), we've each got 4 excellent suggestions for what to watch (and where …

There have been many “hooker with a heart of gold” movies, but Pretty Woman has to be on the shortlist of the most lovable ones. That’s largely because Julia Roberts is at her very best (a star was b…

The first sequel in the long series of Universal’s Frankenflicks is the best film out of all of them. James Whale’s masterpiece feels incredibly modern for something that was made 85 years ago. It’s …

Since it’s the movie of the moment (and the big winner at last month's Oscars), we thought the Next 186 Project was an ideal slot to cover Parasite. Bong Joon Ho’s brilliant, pitch-black satire deals…

Here’s some truth…it’s March! We’re on the other side of winter, people. Somebody wished upon a star, didn’t they? Well, anyway, the Next 185 Project analyzes Disney’s ultimate morality tale, althoug…

At my signal, unleash Braveheartacus! The Next 184 Project gets into the issues of how Commodus (toilet!) is a “failson” and how the whole derivative story is a WWF-esque popularity contest. This Rid…

Warning: Catholics and Pope-lovers might want to steer clear of the Next 183 Project. S’pretty explosive stuff. We go hard on the church and the cover-up of the sex abuse scandal (a more accurate way…

Are you ready for some grief? Well, the world is a terrible place run by terrible tyrants, so probably. Let’s try this again. Are you ready to hear us yammer on about people who are too stilted to de…

For the 5th year in a row, we present a February gab about the world’s biggest awards show. The Next 181 Project represents the longest episode the Ellises have ever done and that’s because there is …

Mrs. Ellis’ final selection in the “Month o’ Bev” did indeed (as she intended) provide fodder for a furious back-and-forth. The movie in question in the Next 180 Project believes in individuality and…

Darren Aronofsky's cautionary tale is over the top, loud, a bit dated and sometimes hysterical, but it's also heartbreaking. And it was influential, especially on commercials and movie trailers. Migh…

For some, this was the greatest movie of the twenty-tens, but, whether you dig the flick or not, it’s hard to argue that it predicted the future. Now that social media has become a gigantic, world-ch…
